It is absolutely glorious in Scotland today, so I've been sitting in my back garden in a bikini top and shorts, reading through Le Gone du Chaaba to refresh my brain before I do some serious note-taking.

Yes, a bikini in May. I'm Scottish. It's my God-given right to get excited by the slightest glimmer of sunshine and lose all clothing as soon as a bit of warmth touches my skin.

However, being Scottish does also mean that I'm a tiny bit sunburnt.

On the bright side, I have got some work done today. Nice weather definitely makes life so much easier.
